Equipment Needed
I used a food processor to make this Beet Hummus Without Tahini.
Ingredients Needed
Cooked chickpeas: You can use canned or cook your chickpeas at home. Try pressure cooking them if you need to make them low histamine.
Beet: I use pre-cooked, chopped beets that are either roasted or pre-boiled for a shortcut. You can also roast your own beets though.
Olive oil: Use the best quality EVOO in this Beet Without Tahini recipe.
Garlic: Personally I like to use fresh garlic in my hummus! I think it tastes way better than garlic powder.
Lemon juice: This is optional but balances the recipe out and is really yummy. If you want to make a low histamine version, skip the lemon.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1: Gather your ingredients.
Step 2: Add all the Beet Hummus Without Tahini ingredients to your food processor and blend them until smooth and creamy.
Storage
You can either store your Beet Hummus Without Tahini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week.
Low histamine note: I like to freeze mine into cubes!
Variations
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, chili flakes or a spoonful of harissa for a spicy version.
Blend in fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro or dill for a bright, garden fresh flavor.
Swap part of the olive oil with almond butter or cashew butter for extra creaminess.
Use orange or lime juice instead of lemon juice.
Roast the garlic before blending for a more mellow garlic flavor.
Add a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (for dairy free) to make it ultra-smooth.
Use golden beets instead of red for a more sunny dip.
